# Consent Stage

This stage evaluates a boolean `consentGiven` (`true` or `false`). The user is prompted to consent for each mapping that is set to require consent. If consent is required but not given, the stage fails with an exception. It is up to the client to handle that exception, for example, to prevent registration if the user does not provide consent.
